Quickstart - don't have a computer to connect ethernet to...now what?

What if I don't have a computer to connect an ethernet to as part of the set up process?  I only have a tablet and Ipads, nothing with an ethernet port.

    you have the cm700 you put in your signature? and you're trying to set it up? Is this correct? you didn't give much info.

    1. your router should have an ethernet port. to connect it to. what router do you have?

    2. if you're setting up a modem, you always have the option of calling your ISP provider and they can provision it remotely using the MAC address.
